Communicating with Russians

Post Reply New Topic

For employees of the intelligence services with a security clearance, any contact with a known or suspected agent of foreign intelligence must be reported in something like a suspicious contact report.

Public officials with security clearances don't have the same requirement, but they should practice good counterintelligence awareness because it's the right thing to do! Sessions has been doing his job long enough to know this. That he also didn't mention those contacts in written answers during his confirmation hearings is a bigger problem.

Nobody does that tho, it's not standard practice. Nothing has been inappropriate about any of these alleged encounters, it's now just after the fact there is a witch hunt for any passing connection with Russia regardless of the circumstances. If Trump and his administration gets held to this standard then so should everybody else I think there is a CLEAR case of obstruction with Loretta Lynch and I think James Comey is also guilty of a crime too for leaking. Do you think that was the only time Comey did that? One thing about that whole process of getting that information "out there" is how routine it seemed.

This is the deep state right in front of your eyes, people talk about the KGB ruling Russia as if that is anything different than what goes on in our country. Neocons are a faction within our intelligence community and have been so since the 70s when the CIA was under Bush Sr, look up CIA Team B! Clinton had deep ties with the CIA while AG and governor of Arkansas and likely before that. A Rhodes Scholar at Oxford during the Vietnam War is exactly the type of person they'd be interested in recruiting. We know about the CIA activity in Arkansas smuggling in cocaine, you think 'the boys on the tracks' happened for no reason? These are bad bad people! Obama and his mother both likely have connections as well judging by where they worked.(known fronts) You don't think they 'groom' future leaders?

What OTHER foreign entities have "meddled" with our elections to same standard that we're holding Russia to? Mind you, we've put sanctions on Russia because of it so if some other country did the same they'd get the same treatment right?

Although this is a shrill and hyper-politicized narrative, it was done in an official capacity, and I am not represented by it, in what claims to be a representative republic. What personal interest of mine was being pursued with the Russians.

What part of "Trump gets 2 scoops of ice cream, everybody else gets one" is real news? Not even the flag pin nonsense has been as inane and childish as that. Where did all those October surprises that the MSM thought would sink Trump go after the election? The MSM has desperately thrown everything they had against the wall hoping anything sticks, when the BS Russian narrative is finally put to rest they won't acknowledge it and will just seamlessly transition to next new narrative that they think will finally be the end of Donald Trump.

I miss old CNN, when they use to cover plane disappearances for weeks on end and speculated about black holes or aliens beaming them up. Such journalistic integrity. Biggest joke on TV.

I find this investigation confusing and that's why I started this thread. As far as the nature of the interaction, it seems like it would be the same as any other interaction with others attending a convention or similar. It's not like such a public event is the only way someone on Trump's staff could talk to a Russian.

What I would find very suspicious and incriminating is if any clandestine meetings had taken place.

And what makes the whole investigation seem fishy is the fact that there was a huge outcry to have Trump removed from the very beginning starting last November. How he never should have been elected. How unfair it was that he won. That there's got to be some way to get him removed from office because of that. So naturally all the attempts at doing just that seem like a plot.
